Run

48m 28s

5.65 miles

08m 35s /Mi

Wasn't sure what to expect with my lower back issue but whenever I stand it is ok. Did some light strectching before starting and then ran easy at the start. It was 'only' 60F with a 10mph NW wind! Thankfully I started out running with the wind for 2.1 miles and after 2 miles the HR hit Z2 & I could feel my hands starting to warm up too! Running into the breeze after 3.2 miles was perfect. Felt the left hammy getting tight after about 4 miles and had to be careful with that leg. Think I figured out what my lower back issue is being caused by. Stretching beforehand I didn't feel it, so this is massage material!

Funny thing, I noticed that I wrote "short run" earlier today, can't believe that 5+ miles is now a "SHORT" run!!! Last year (Dec 20th)this run took me an ~hour and required effort to keep the HR down in Z2.

Stretching

25m

PM full body stretching

Lower back is sore/stiff again today when sitting and bending over, not sure if it is due to sleeping weird or something else possible related to the HIM. Was ok on Sat but started to stiffen up last night again when I was sitting, feels ok standing up. Need to do the inversion table and some serious stretching today.

Worked the core today during lunch. Hung on the inversion table and it helped my lower back/right hip tremendously.

Lower back / right hip is very sore today, must have slept weird last night. Fatigue level feels normal today, wokeup naturally with only 7.5 hrs sleep. Ready to rock! Hmmm found a 5k/10k Turkey trot on T-day only 4 miles from my house and only cost $5 or $20 is you want the T-shirt...

Thursday - November 16

Man following on from last nights workout, I'm whipped. Wonder if it is normal to feel more tired on the 3rd-4th day/night than the previous days & nights, weird how fatigued I feel today. Have a customer in the office today & tomorrow so going to be busy & tied up...
